Rielly (undisclosed) is expected to play against Buffalo on Saturday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
Rielly should be back on the top pairing and the first power-play unit after sitting out Friday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres. He has accounted for two goals, four assists, 20 shots on net, five blocked shots and six hits through seven appearances this season. With Rielly good to go, Dakota Mermis or Philippe Myers will likely come out of the lineup.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Ruled out for Friday's game
Rotowire
Rielly (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Sabres, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
Rielly was considered questionable for Friday's matchup due to an undisclosed injury, and he'll be unavailable for at least one game. However, head coach Craig Berube said Friday that Rielly could be an option for Saturday's rematch against Buffalo, so the defenseman is unlikely to be facing a lengthy absence.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Rielly is dealing with an undisclosed injury and is questionable to face the Sabres on Friday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Rielly logged over 24 minutes of ice time versus the Devils on Tuesday, so it's not immediately clear when he was injured. To open the season, the 31-year-old defenseman has registered two goals and four assists but has yet to record a point with the man advantage despite averaging 2:56 of power-play ice time.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Strong start to season continues
Rotowire
Rielly scored a goal Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Kraken.
The defender took a pass from Auston Matthews on a 2-on-1 and went blocker side on Joey Daccord from just below the top of the left faceoff circle. Rielly has been a great source of offense on a team that's been a bit wobbly to start the campaign. He has two goals, four assists and 19 shots in six games.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Hot start continues
Rotowire
Rielly picked up two assists in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Detroit.
Rielly has had a hot start to the season with four points (one goal, three assists) in just two contests. This pace is obviously impossible to sustain, but it does hint at his confidence right now, which will deliver points. Rielly is tied with William Nylander for the team lead in points.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Two points including GWG
Rotowire
Rielly scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 victory over Montreal.
Both Lane Hutson and Mike Matheson found themselves without sticks on a shift midway through the third period, and the Maple Leafs took advantage -- while Matthew Knies' initial breakaway attempt was stuffed by Sam Montembeault, Rielly was able to flip home the rebound to give his squad a 3-2 lead. It was a strong start to the campaign for the 31-year-old blueliner, and Toronto may need him to elevate his offensive game with Mitch Marner now in Vegas -- while Rielly has topped 50 points in a season four times, including a career-best 20 goals and 72 points back in 2018-19, he managed just seven goals and 41 points over 82 regular-season games last season.
Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Upping game in postseason
Rotowire
Rielly scored a goal Tuesday in a 3-2 overtime win over Ottawa.
Rielly has found the back of the net in each of the Leafs' two postseason games (five shots). Tuesday, he drove to the left post, and William Nylander sauced a perfect pass right to his stick for a tap-in. Rielly's regular season was mid at best by his standards, with just 41 points in 82 appearances -- that's 17 fewer points in 10 more games than last season (58 points; 72 games). However, he's really put his foot on the gas in the playoffs so far.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Tickles twine in Game 1 win
Rotowire
Rielly scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Senators in Game 1.
Rielly answered a Ridly Greig goal early in the third period to restore a three-goal lead for the Maple Leafs. The 31-year-old Rielly went without a goal over the final 24 games of the regular season, so this one had to feel good to get him back on track. In that span, he still had 11 assists, 48 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating. Overall, the blueliner finished the regular season at 41 points, 131 blocks, 126 shots on net and a minus-8 rating while playing in all 82 games for the fourth time in his 12-year career.

Rotowire
Rielly logged three assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Supplies two helpers in win
Rotowire
Rielly logged two assists and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
Rielly earned his first multi-point effort since his stunning four-point game in Boston on Feb. 25. Over the 17 contests in between, he was limited to five helpers. He set up both of William Nylander's tallies -- one on a rebound and one with a pass -- in this contest. Rielly is now at 37 points, 117 shots on net, 112 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating through 76 games overall. He's still at risk of falling short of the 40-point mark for the first time in a full-length season since 2016-17.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Gets assist but still in slump
Rotowire
Rielly picked up an assist Saturday in a 3-1 win over Los Angeles.
It came on a third-period power play. Rielly has really struggled offensively this season, and he has just 35 points (seven goals, 28 assists) in 73 games. Last season, Rielly delivered 58 points in 72 contests. He's a long way removed from his career mark, which was set in 2018-19, when he recorded 20 goals, 51 assists and 223 shots. You have to trot him out there when he's playing -- you likely invested too much to admit you were wrong back at the draft.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Sends assist Monday
Rotowire
Rielly logged an assist and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flames.
Rielly has earned three helpers over eight outings in March so far. The defenseman also has a minus-5 rating, 11 shots on net and 12 blocked shots for the month.

Rotowire
Rielly notched a power-play assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Rielly was fantastic in February, earning two goals and seven assists over eight contests. Four of those nine points came Tuesday versus the Bruins, but this has still been one of his most consistent stretches of the campaign.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Massive four-point game
Rotowire
Rielly had a goal and three assists Tuesday in a 5-4 overtime victory over the Bruins.
It was a massive game for the struggling talent, who last put up a multi-point game Nov. 8 (two assists). In fact, Rielly had just two multi-point games this season prior to Tuesday. Now, he has eight points (two goals, six assists) in his last seven contests. Half of those points have come with the man advantage. Rielly could be an excellent fantasy pickup for the final stretch of this season. He's had a rough year, but he hasn't lost his skill.

He has struggled offensively this season, collecting 26 points in 55 appearances, but his hot play going into the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off is encouraging.
